It is five o'clock, and many a family-is sitting round the tea table. In this new series they are to he entertained by a broadcast talk, or talks, on something topical, or on some special subject described by an expert.
Last week, for instance, in the first broadcast in the series, Charlie Brown , chief carver at Simpson's, gave a talk on caning, and a professional photographer one on photography. Today Kathleen Moneypenny , an Australian, who was present at the German Dance Festival held in connection with the Olympic Games, is to discuss the school of German dancing, of which Mary Wigman is the great exponent. ... Then an observer at the Conference convened by the League of Nations and held in Geneva a week or two ago to prepare a Convention on the use of broadcasting in the cause of peace is to tell listeners something of what took place.

This evening the author of ' Tarka the Otter ' and ' Salar the Salmon ' is to give the first of four broadcast talks on animals, and he will repeat it on Monday afternoon, October 5, at 5 p.m. Tonight's talk on red deer will be followed by a talk on the otter on October 28, and the last two talks will be on the stoat and the badger respectively. Each of the four talks will be repeated for the benefit of a fresh circle of listeners on the following Monday afternoon.
A great number of listeners will have read a story of his, ' The Old Stag '. Stumberleap lived in a wood of that name, and was hunted many times ; in the last chase he swam across the Severn Sea and landed in Wales. Corpses of the hounds, swimming after him, were washed up eventually in Cardiff harbour.
The author in his booklet ' The Wild
Red Deer of Exmoor 'tells how the wild red deer have lived there for many thousands of years. To many farmers they are vermin. ' For'a great many years ', he says, ' the Hunts practically befriended the wild red deer of Exmoor. I, for one, a mere imaginative friend of the deer, shall always be grateful for this practical benevolence '.
